David Goggins - Never Quit Mindset:
I'm Not A Real Smart Guy.And What I Mean By That Is I Was Born With Add, Adhd, All Like My Brain Cannot Retain Information.I'm Not Some Genetic Freak When It Comes To Running, When It Comes To Lifting Weights, I'm I Am Absolutely The Bottom Of The Barrel.And People Will Never Believe Me And They Can Just, You Know, Whatever, Believe What You Want To Believe.So When You Ask Me This Question About What The Studying Look Like For Me?
I Have To Go Over The Same Page Over And Over And Over And Over Again
.While Jennifer Can Look At That Page While She's, You Know, Quizzing Me, She'll Learn It Right Then As She's She Didn't Know Anything About It.She Will Quiz Herself Or Quiz Me And Learn It As She's Quizzing Me, It's The Most Frustrating Thing In The World How My Brain Works. So What I So What I Do Is I Literally Sit There With A Pen And Paper And I Have My Books And I Go Through And Have To Write Everything Down, Every Single Day.I Will Study The Same Page Until It's Photographic Memory From Writing The Same Thing Down.And Then From There, I'll Go Back Through And Relearn Again.So I'll Learn The Bulk Of It, But Then I'll Go Through And Learn The Small Things Within That.So If It's A Medication, I'll Learn What The Medication Does.I'll First, I'll Learn How To Even Say The Medication. Cause These Medications Aren't Like, You Know, Like Albuterol.No It's, It's, It's Very Big Word.So I'll Go Through, Learn How To Say The Name. Then I'll Go Through, Learn What The Dose Is. Then I'll Go Through, And This Is Like Every Single Day.It’s Not Like, Oh, I Got It.Let's Just Go Through.No, Nothing Is I Got It. Every Single Thing.So I Can't Wait To Get In This Conversation Because Everything I Do In Life, It Sucks. Everything I Do In Life, It Sucks. That's Why When I Was 300 Lb And 24 Years Old, It Was Like It Had Some Big Epiphany Of Let's Just Go Be A Navy Seal Let's Lose Some Weight.No, I Knew My Entire Life Was Going To Be A Struggle.Which Is Why I Just Ignored It.And I Said, I'm Not Even Trying To Jump Off Into This Sh*T And Learn How To Read, How To Write, How To Memorize, How To Become Something I Am Not. But Through That Process, Something Happened To Me And I Realized That's This Why I Feel Sorry For No One. Because People Are Going To Think That I Am Maybe Lying Or Maybe Fibbing Or Exaggerating. No I Am Literally, I Was The Lowest Form On Earth No Talent, No Ability To Learn, And I Literally Know What It Is To Be Rock Bottom And To Build That Up.The Road To Success Is Rarely A Straight Line.For Me, It's Always Always Been More Like A Maze.Many Times When I Thought I'd Finally Cracked The Code, Had It All Figured Out And Found The Straight Path To Certain Victory, I Hit A Wall Or Got Spun Into A Turnaround.When That Happens, We Have Two Choice. We Can Stay Stuck Or Regroup, Back Up, And Try Again.That's Where Evolution Begins. Hitting Those Walls Time And Again Will Harden And Streamline You. Having To Back Up And Formulate A New Plan Without Any Assurances It Will Ever Pan Out Will Tune Your Say Up And Develop Your Problem. Solving Skills And Your Endurance, It Will Force You To Adapt. When That Happens Hundreds Of Times Over The Course Of Many Years, It Is Physically Exhausting And Mentally Draining.And It Becomes Damn Near
Impossible To Believe In
Yourself Or Your Future.A Lot Of People
Abandon Belief At That
Point, They Swirl In The Edies Of Comfort
Or Regret, Perhaps Cliam Their
Victimhood And Stop Looking For Their
Way Out Of The Maze. Others Keep
Believing And Find A Way Out But Hope To
Never Slip Into A Trap Like That Ever
Again, And Those Skills They'd Honed And
Developed Whither. They Lose Their Edge.I Am Always On The Hunt For Another
Twisted Pretzel Of A Maze To Get Lost In
Because That's Where I Find Myself.
The Smooth Road To Success Is Of No Use To
Savages Like Me. That May Sound Ideal, But
It Won't Test Us.It Doesn't Demand
Belief, So It Will Never Make Us Great.We
All Build Belief In Different Ways. I
Clock Countless Hours In The Gym, Where I
Log Thousands Of Reps And Run And Ride
My Bike Obscene Distances To Cultivate
Belief. Despite What You May Think, I
Don't Consider Myself An Ultra Athlete
Because Those Races Are Not Who I
Am. There Are Tools. Each One Provides Me
A Stockpile Of Faith So When I Get Stuck
In The Maze Of Life Like A Broke Down
Savage, I Still Believe I'm Capable Of
Achieving My Unreasonable Goals, Such As
Becoming A Smoke Jumper At 47 Years Old, No Matter What Society Or The Good Doctor Says.I Don't Mean To Suggest That You Must Run 100 Or 200 Miles To Believe You Have What It Takes To Get Where You Want To Go. That's What I Had To Do Based On The Depth Of The Darkness I Came From In The Scale Of My Ambitions
But If You've Lost It You Do Need To Find Your Way Back To Belief. Whatever It Takes For You To Believe That You're Better Than Good Enough To Achieve Your Dreams Is What You Must Do. And Remember, Your Greatness Is Not Tied To Any Outcome.
It Is Found In The Valiance Of The Atputting,I'm An Artist And Every Day I'm Putting, I'm Painting Mora Lisa Every Every Day. And But It's A Different One. It's Not The Same Painting.
So Every Day I Wake Up, Even Know I Do
The Same Thing, It Takes A Different Way
To Get There. So Every Day In My Mind, I'm Going Through My Mind. I'm Just Like, And A Good Painter Will Not Just Paint.
He Needs To Create. And You Can't Create With Phones And Everything Going Around You.So You Got To Block Yourself Off. You Only Do Two Podcasts In A Year. You Block Yourself Off And You're And You're Painting This Inside And You're Going Through All These Different Colors Of Paint And Everything Else. And You Can Only Figure Out The Right Painting.If You Spend The Correct Amount Of Time In Your Brain.So Every Single Day I'm Literally Going Through My Mind And I'm Painting.I'm Creating This, This Masterpiece. And The Masterpiece Is Always Myself.And, But To Do That, You Cannot Have Any Distractions Because If You're Talking To An Artist And He's Trying To Think About The Next Painting, He Can't. It's It's Impossible To Listen To You And Listen To What Your Mind And Body Are Telling You We Must Do. People Don't Do Enough Of, They Don't Do Any Of It. You're, They Don't Have Passion. They They Lack Passion, Drive, Determination, Because You Haven't Spent Time With Yourself. Your Mind Will Tell You What Is Next. But You Haven't Spent The Time To Go, All Right, Let Me Just Figure This Out. You're Looking For, Let Me Google This And Let Me Google That. And Let Me, You're Not Going To Find It There Because There's Billions Of People In World And They're All Supposed To Be Individuals, But We Have A Pack Mentality. That's Why You're So Lost. Why Am I So Unique? I'm Being Exactly What The I Was Supposed To Be. I Ain't Follow Sh*T.And When I Did Follow Sh*T, I Was Like
Everybody Else. The Second I Said, Okay, Man, Hang On, Dude.You Don't Like This. You Don't Like This.You Don't Like This. Who Are You David Goggins? Who Are You Supposed To Be? Miraculously, All These Things Just I I Couldn't Even, The The List Of Sh*T I Had To Do Just, Wham, It's Like, Fu*K, Okay. Wow, Once You Sit Down With
Yourself And Say, Okay, I Don't Want To Be
Like Michael Jordan Or Jim Brown, Both On
My Birthday. So I Looked At Their Birthday, Like, Oh My, Maybe It Can Be One Of These.I Con't, I'm Going To Be David Fu*King Goggins. And That Looks Like This. It Just Came, Everything Flooded.
So Every Single Day Of My Life. There's A Different Thing That Comes Up That Have To Do.
We've All Experienced It Before ; There's Something We Have To Do, But Even Though We Know This, We Can't Convince Ourselves To Sit Down And Get It Done. Instead, We Are Overwhelmed With All Of The Distractions Surrounding Us. Our Thoughts Run Rampant, Eclipsing The Voice In The Back Of Our
Head Telling Us To Get Back On Track. We Feel Out Of Control Like We Can't Take Charge Of Our Own Actions.Temptations Are All Around Us, And Foolishly, We Keep Giving In To Them. If This Scenario Resonates With You, Then You Are More Than Likely Suffering From A Lack Of Self-discipline. Self-discipline Is All About Being Able To Have Control Over
Yourself And What You Do, Say, Or Think.
Because We Live In A Society That
Prioritizes Pleasure Over Logic, We Fail
To Realize That Self-discipline Is
Integral To Our Success In Life. Without Self-d Discipline, There's Very Little That We Can Accomplish, No
Matter How Big Our Hopes And Dreams Are.We Can't Get To The Place We Want To Be In Life Just By Dreaming Achieving
Success Requires Action. Self-discipline
Is Important For A Variety Of Reasons,
But The Major One Is The Fact That
Having Self-discipline Can Completely
Change The Trajectory Of Your Life For
The Better. You Will Not Only Be Healthier And Happier Once You Master Self-discipline You Will Also Find That
You Are A Much More Successful Person In
Business, Relationships, And Numerous
Other Areas Of Life.Self-deprecation Is No Longer Looked Down Upon Rather It Is
Expected. We Limit Ourselves By Downplaying Our Abilities And As A
Result, Many People Do Not Realize The
Power That They Have Within Them. No
Matter How Much You Feel Like Your
Abilities Are Lacking, You Are Capable Of
Achieving Great Things, Both In Your
Professional Life. And Your Personal Life
You Have The Strength Deep Inside You To
Fight Your Way Through Anything Life
Throws At You, No Matter How Tough.
Developing A Strong Sense Of Self-discipline Can Completely Change
Your Life. This Is Coming From Someone
Who Has Experienced First And How
Self-discipline Can Lead To Great
Success. Before Gaining A Strong Sense Of
Control Over My Life, I Often Felt
Hopeless And Lost. Now, I Am On Track To Achieve Many Great Things, And I Consider Myself A Highly Successful Person.I Firmly
Believe That I Would Not Have Been Able
To Achieve What I Have Today If It
Wasn't For The Fact That I Dedicated
Myself To Learning About Self-discipline And How To Apply It To My Own Life. Every Day, You Know, It Gets Dusty And Every Day You Don't Start With The, With The Victories. You Don't Go Oh This Is Nice Look At My, Look At My, I Love Me. Well, Let Me Clean Up This Little Dusty. No I Go Right For The Things That Are Going To Keep Me Buried I Go Right There First Cause If I Don't Clean Those Out First, The Day Doesn't Start. So What He's Saying To Me Is Truth. And Like I Told You Many Times Today I Could Never Figure Out How To Explain This People Because I'm Not Neuron Nothing I'm Just A Guy That Said, Okay, We Got To Start In The Dungeon And We Got To Stay Here For The Rest Of Our Lives. For You To Become Successful, The Dungeon Is A Place That Has To Be Clean And It's The Scariest Place To Be. That's Why I'm Misunderstood Cuz I'm Speaking From The Dungeon. That's Why I Am Successful Because I Go There Every Damn Day. And That Is The Truth. What He Says It's The Exact Truth. Those Cabinets Are Fu*King Dusty, Dirty And Scary As Sh*T. Broken Glass, Dark, Spiders, Cobwebs, But Most Of All, Your Biggest Fears. The Biggest Things That Put You In The Fu*Ked Up Place You Are Today Are In There. That's Why We All Like To Keep Them Shut, Even Like To Lock Them Up Act Like They Never Happened. That's Why You Never Grow. You Never Improve You Never Have Real Conversations Like We're Having Righ Now. Never, Never, Oh, N, No, No, No, No, No, Let's Not, No, No, No, Let's Not Go There. I Talk To So Many People Who Tell Me That. Let's Talk About This. Cause They'll Tell Me, But They Can Only Say It Oncit. And They'll Say It In Passing. They Won't Get Deep In The Weeds With It Like You Can't Just Clean It. Mother Fu*Ker, You Gotta To Shine That Mother Fu*Ker. You Got To Relive It. Every Fing Detail Of It. You Can't Like Oh Yeah Yeah My Dad Beat Me. And They, You Know, You Know, It Is What It Is. Hey It Is What It Is.Motherfu*Ker It's It's Killing You. It's Taking Over Your Whole Fu*King Life. But That's The Conversation. Yeah My Dad, I'm Fine Now Though. I'm Good. Okay.All Right. No You Ain't. You Ain't Fine. You Ain't Fine. This Is, This Is Real Talk. People Don't Have That. So Your Boy's Right.T. 100% Right. Scary As Sh*T It's Scary As Sh*T. But Makes You Who You're Supposed To Be. And That's The Test. We Forget. We Think We're Supposed To Breathe Air And Have Kids And Pay The Bills And Sh*T.Everyone What's This Life About? That Make No Sense. Being Tested, My Friend. Tests Come When You Have Not Studied. Test Come When You Think That You're In The Great Place. That's That's The Test. The Test Is Every Day Of Your Life. And Most Of Us Fail Because We Don't Know Why We're Here, Because We Don't Go Inward To Say, Oh, You Gave Me A Lot Of Sh*T To Fix, Man. And This Test Sucks But Then You Start.
